Crochet Link Love, Early August

It’s time for a little bit of link love. Here were my favorite crochet blog posts from the week around the web:

Something Special

Yarnstorm Boot Camp is coming up in the UK. You may remember back in February that I posted about this yarnbombing boot camp. The date had changed and it’s now happening in October so it’s time to sign up. If you’re in the UK, or planning a UK vacation, and want to spend the weekend with crafty edgy yarnbombing people then it could be worth checking out.

Smart Crochet Words

Crochetwear Book Review. About Crochet reviewed this book by Ann Regis that looks really interesting. It’s from 2010 but I’d actually never heard of it before so I’m glad Amy mentioned it this week!

2012 Creativity Series. I’ve mentioned this series of posts before from @whipup where guest bloggers discuss different aspects of creativity. This post is a roundup of links to all the participants’s posts.

Crochet How Tos

How to do a Knotless Russian Join. When I stirred up the conversation again about whether or not it’s okay to put knots in your crochet many people asked me how you join a new ball of yarn without making a knot. Stitch and Unwind shared this video tutorial this week that provides one answer to that question.

New Crochet Patterns

Double Sided Crochet Purse. @CraftGossip pointed us to this free crochet pattern by About Goodness and highlights that it offers a great opportunity to practice many different stitches including broomstick lace.
